VC is plagued with deception and closed door networks. If you only take meetings with founders who have been introduced to you and think that's not a subjective bias, you are sadly mistaken. Especially when evidence says these doesn't equate to better returns #VentureCapital

Sad and heartbroken to see attacks targeting the Jewish community in Australia. No community should face hate or violence for who they are or what they celebrate. I advocate for peace and for every community to prosper and celebrate freely. #HappyHanukkah #peace #stophate

As a VC fund partner, don't judge a startup founder on how much of their own money they put unless you are willing to share how much of partner contribution you are your GP team has invested in the fund. #startups #venturecapital #partnercontribution #risk

The CEO of SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) has been selling his shares of the business for some time now. Most recently he sold $3.58 M 12 days ago. Anyone find the timing precarious? secform4.com/filings/719739/… secform4.com/filings/719739/… secform4.com/filings/719739/… #venturedebt #svb #startup

I have it on good authority from Multiple LPs, the VC fund model of 2/20 of the past is dying and a new carry model is going to be the future. We are productizing the model @StartupFuel and hope to share some updates in the coming months! #VentureCapital #StartupFuel #fund

Had a conversation with a Managing GP of a notable VC fund and it was the worst exchange I have encountered. Rude, inattentive and completely lethargic. There is a large problem with ego in the VC GP space, and it's time we let their LPs know who are they are. #venturecapital

Tenacity: the quality of being determined; persistent forward momentum with a game plan; to never stop trying to achieve a goal even in the face of insurmountable odds. #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #startups #angels #innovation

WOW: the difference in allocation by an American University Fund vs Europe funds to VC asset class. 23% vs 0.02% is obviously not comparing apples to apples, but should be still blows my mind! #vc #startups #venturecapital @StartupFuel

Some VCs think they know more than the LPs funding them, the startups they are investing into, and the ecosystem around them. These people are what we call toxic investors and everyone in the ecosystem needs to stay clear of them. #VentureCapital #startups
